I have installed some themes like (hope, Ambiance blue etc) in my ubuntu 12.10.
No matter which theme i install, the menu options are whitened so also the options appearing on right click. I am giving a screen shot for better understanding.

That specific theme has not been updated by its author to work correctly with GTK+ v3.6 (the version that Ubuntu 12.10 uses). GNOME is the faulty here, because with every minor GTK+ release they are breaking all the themes, wasting everyone’s time.
